Join us for a different kind of Friday Night Happy Hour where we'll gather together in community to unwind from the work week, mingle with new friends, eat some delicious finger foods, and kick off our weekend with a relaxing meditation to put us in a positive frame of mind.

Our topic for this Food for Thought gathering is "When to Say Something ... or Not." When faced with having difficult conversations, we may try to avoid them, repress our true feelings, or lash out in anger... or all of the above! Ultimately, these approaches won't lead to good results.
With Buddha's wisdom, we can develop the skill we need to deal with prickly people and tricky situations. We can learn how to navigate even the most challenging interactions calmly and wisely, and how to speak with clarity and compassion.
Everyone welcome. Bring a friend!

Pre-registration is appreciated so the organizers know how much food to prepare.
This is a vegetarian alcohol-free evening.
